Commenting from chapter 45 so I may be quite a few steps behind! So: sexual assault, manipulating adults whose mental state is clearly not of an adult (minsc) into sex, almost zoophilia, and (egg) abortion. Sandrah's mod has it all Funny enough that this LP was created while i'm doing my very own BG1EE playthrough with NPC banter mod. It's a delightful experience and most characters offer some good company thanks to it. If anyone is in doubt (Shar-teel and Kivan notwithstanding), definitely try it out for a more entertaining experience. One of the things I found funniest in BG1 is just how many one-man team assassins the game throws at you. They, on their lonesome, see a six-party team that just cleared an entire mine, a bandit camp, or a magical spider nest and go "you know what? I'll try out my luck". It's even funnier just how many of these encounters the mods add as well. They add basically nothing other than extra loot or money via gear selling. It's just weird. Just how many dragons are there with the mods???? There are a total of zero(?) in vanilla! I'm surprised that Bragge's madness wasn't healed by Sandrah simply loving him (I'm not even joking, I was expecting that if you answered incorrectly, she'd just step in and answer properly for you). This mod is a work of art in just how wrong it all feels. This is a sexual predator, destroying every single character in the game, in order to make them feel subservient and in awe of what effectively should be an 18 (?) year old priestess with "no experience with love". Just how popular is this mod in the community exactly? I noticed that she's a mod at the gibberlings forum. That really doesn't fit well with me... And another thing: the modded gear is absolutely loving busted. In the original BG1 you're supposed to go up to around level 8 or 9 and you're happy to get a +2 weapon in the midgame. The mods just throw +3 weapons at you before you even clear the Nashkel mines! Just...oh my lord, this mod.

I'm still behind, hopefully my next comment will be related to the latest chapter!! Again, great work on handling this LP. You're an angel for having to deal with Sandrah. With that in mind, let's take all of this out of my chest: The coran pregnancy thing and him just passionately kissing Vichan is probably the highest point of the LP so far. And now Sandrah is your sister? Oh lord what a mess. How did Sandrah manage to NOT gently caress the duke? As i've said before, i'm playing through BG myself and confirm that Dynaheir's NPC content is so good. Also, on the werewolf island, when the NPC that asks you for the poison flowers kisses you as thanks, she calls you out for doing favors for young girl kisses  Not related to the mod or anything really, but what's the point of a wizard slayer if they can't wear anything? Barely anything seems to be usable, is the class so powerful to justify not being able to wear barely anything? Cythereal posted:This reminds me of back when the Imoen Romance mod Just how much of a trainwreck is it? Those comments don't look too good and it reaches a point where a mod is so terrible that it goes the other way around and makes me interested in checking it out. Vichan posted:22.

You can literally screw up the Brage quest by not undestanding the riddle! Hell, i've hosed it up because i've pressed 3 instead of 4 by mistake! Why is this what makes Sandrah go bananas??? I honestly can't believe that Jen'lig was written by the same author. While flawed, it's an entirely different, and better, character. Vichan, you have the patience of a saint for this LP. Thank you for your dedication! I'll have to avoid this thread for a while, since i've now started by first ever siege of dragonspear run and i certainly don't want Sandrah to spoil it for me!

Yeah i literally did this area on Tuesday and i found absolutely nothing of the sort, i've also proposed Korlasz surrender, she told me to piss off and then she died in combat without ever surrendering? Are these Sandrah additions or "Mans got way too eager and didn't see half the dungeon's content"?

HAHAHAHAHAHAH Sandrah just loving runs out of there. Vichan please stay behind, the protagonist can't be killed yet  Kallev posted:I actually started up another game of Baldur's Gate as I was reading this LP and was waiting for you to hit this part, specifically because I have a Steam achievement relating to Skies murder and had 0 recollection of her getting murdered. The whole bit feels really rushed for a few different reasons. I feel like the two that irritate me the most are that, one, Skie was a useless idiot to the city at large, so why does killing her turn the whole city against you as if you killed their personal hero? And two, everyone instantly jumping to condemn you for a single murder after you literally just breached Hell in order to save them seems poorly written. It really feels like if they wanted the Boareskyr Bridge thing to have really tainted peoples view of you, I think it would have helped to showcase that more. It might even have benefitted from having implied to any extent that there were provocateurs in the Coalition, like maybe the very mysterious Hooded Man, who were trying to really agitate the issue. Before the murder, a lot of people were already extremely suspicious of you. Half of the camp doesn't want a son of Baahl hanging around, especially after you carved the symbol of Baal on the bridge where your father was slain. To the general populace, you were a hero for killing Saverok, but these actions made them easily convinced that you were only killing off a competitor. You can prove your merit during the trial and get a better ending, but I wouldn't really fault the general mob for thinking that an extremely powerful spawn of Baal, who just recently killed an even stronger spawn, was a danger to Baldur's Gate. Also, you went into hell after her and came out alone. Are you a selfless hero, or an opportunist killing off the competition?

I really want to see the thought process behind the person who looked at Nalia and thought Lulu of all things was a more appropriate avatar. I shouldn't be surprised at any of this, but every update just keeps getting more and more bizarre. The fact that Chloe looks mundane by comparison is a real achievment. Zulily Zoetrope posted:
I didn't find it that bad either, or at least it seemed much better compared to the unbearably annoying Aerie romance of "never shutting the gently caress up and yelling at any woman that you interact with".

At this point I have to ask, is there any good, well written BG2 NPC mods that aren't awkward broody types? Cythereal's work on BG1 is quite good, but I think this LP is giving me a very biased view of what NPC mods are produced for this game.

Handing out Carsomyrs and Helms of Balduran like they're candy. For some people, a wake up call by how of sync your mod's idea is with the vanilla game and any sense of game progression. For others, they'll crash your game if you don't obsess about The Beast.

I absolutely "love" how these ridiculous mods destroy the atmosphere of the game: **dreadful dungeon where you've been tortured. One of your closest companions lies dead and brutally mutilated on the upper floor** "He...did things. Horrifying things, never-ending torture, what did we do to deserve this? "Let me put my hands on you hehehehe let's gently caress my besta eva frenda" "I'm a lesbian, I want to have sex with women" **my village was destroyed, I've been reduced to tortured slavery, my tutor and only friend is a bloody, lifeless pulp** "I'm a lesbian but I'm not interested in you" "let me touch your scars and gently caress you" "I'm on an important mission from the Intergalactic Hamster Federation"

Okay...Sandrah literally manipulated Aerie into sex by giving her hopes of medicine. This orc saga is really loving boring. I thought Roxxane had a weird talent for creating modestly okay characters outside of Sandrah but this is just walls of text about what is a paper-thin excuse to not be racist.

That was an unexpected scene with Mistress ada there  Also...arming a village and then re-arming the gnolls to keep them in a perpetual state of warfare isn't Harper balance, it's intentionally sustaining a conflict to ensure your weapon exporting business stays healthy. I don't think the Harpers give much of a concern over Evil creatures to start with.

On the one hand, the way Sandrah handles Keldorn, possibly my favorite BG2 NPC, is really irritating. On the other hand, that makes me confident that Keldorn won't fall into the beast's trap. Also lmao at Sandrah killing Saverok while you're fighting some rando. Literally re-writting history and smiting you if you say otherwise, just like how we literally saw her just gently caress off when you were ambushed at the end of Dragonspear but then she pops up here with a whole different story. I'm pretty sure Sandrah is Kyros from Tyranny.

I like how Keldorn receives the shocking news of his wife's betrayal and the immediate reaction is for Sandrah to take the focus off him and have Vichan ask her what's wrong instead of providing any sort of comfort to Keldorn.Hypocrisy posted:You should you homewrecker! I never did this quest as a kid and I didn't properly understood the consequences of each option so I had Keldorn go the legal way. yeah...

Hey Vichan, I have to ask, just how much time passed between the game starting and you rescuing Imoen? Because with all the Sandrah detours, it feels like Imoen spent half a year in jail while Sandrah was beast and hunting. But most importantly, how does it feel to have a sir before your name now?
